During a meeting with supporters at PD\u2019s Branch No. 2 in Tirana, the opposition leader Sali Berisha presented the measures that will be taken to support citizens and businesses in case he comes to power after the elections of May 11.<\/p>\n
According to Berisha, emergency measures will be introduced to improve the economic conditions of vulnerable groups and to cope with inflation, as well as investments will be made in domestic production.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will establish a minimum living wage of 200 euros. Absolutely, within the first three months of our governance,\u201d said Berisha.<\/p>\n
The former prime minister also promised the creation of a \u201cConsumer Card\u201d to ease the burden on citizens, while guaranteeing an immediate increase in pensions for retirees.<\/p>\n
\u201cPensions will be indexed by double. Initially, they will increase by 20%. A pensioner cannot buy medicine at the same price as we do with high salaries. No!\u201d said Berisha.<\/p>\n
Another measure he proposed was the reimbursement of VAT for pensioners up to 450 euros per year. He also said that efforts would be made to support families and children.
Regarding business, Berisha promised fiscal relief to support economic development and the creation of new jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will free businesses from the heavy fiscal burden, because we believe that money in business accounts is more valuable than in government accounts. They will have the opportunity to invest and create jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Berisha also promised that work would be done to boost domestic production in every part of Albania, with the aim of turning natural resources into wealth for citizens.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will do everything so that Albania produces everywhere, in every corner of the country, so that the goods are transformed into wealth for the citizens. An Albania that produces is an Albania that enjoys and prospers its citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Berisha promised to do everything to discover and utilize Albania\u2019s natural resources, and that the revenues will be used for social policies that will improve citizens\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
